  • • to All Parents and Carers in Bath and North East Somerset
    To all parents and carers in Bath and North East Somerset, BANES School Funding Crisis We are writing to you as a group of concerned head teachers and chief executive officers. You may have seen coverage in the national and local media about the situation with schools funding. This is directly affecting our schools now. Schools in Bath and NE Somerset (BANES) are experiencing unprecedented cuts to school budgets. Between 2013/14 and 2018/19 spending per child in BANES schools is down in real terms by -8.8% in Bath Constituency and -6.7% in NE Somerset¹; while pupil numbers and costs have gone up. Our priority is to provide your children with the best education we can, and we are working hard with our teams to cope. But we are reaching breaking point and we are now being forced to take really tough decisions. The steps we are taking vary from school to school, but the themes are: Bigger class sizes Fewer teaching assistants and other support staff (e.g. pastoral staff, mentors) Inadequate support for children – especially as support services have suffered similar severe cuts and / or face massive increases in demand e.g. Child and Mental Health services The inability to fully meet the needs of children with additional needs in mainstream schools who rely on school (and external service) support Low or no funding for equipment, training and activities to promote a broad and balanced curriculum As head teachers and chief executive officers, we have been cautious about communicating directly with you about the challenges we face (we cannot be seen to be political and it’s difficult to highlight individual challenges when our schools’ future depends on attracting new pupils).
